Based in Nairobi, Kenya
Who we are: Oxfam in Kenya implements a large and innovative programme that incorporates humanitarian responses as well as longer term development and policy work that delivers impact for some of the country’s most marginalised people.
Oxfam Kenya applies a one programme
approach which means it has multiple activities that support a holistic
approach to humanitarian, development and advocacy for long lasting change in
poverty reduction.
Oxfam in Kenya works in the arid
lands of the north, principally in Turkana, Dadaab and Wajir; in the Nairobi
informal settlements and at national level advocacy and coordination in multi
stakeholder forums.
Oxfam is increasingly developing its role as a facilitator or catalyst for change and it puts women at the heart of everything it does. It is increasingly focused on building Kenyan institutions rather than directly implementing itself.
Oxfam in Kenya requires a highly experienced Land Rights Programme Coordinator to help successfully start up, implement and demonstrate delivery of the Land rights component in its country programme.
The Role: The Land Rights Programme Coordinator will focus on leading implementation of a new Community Land Rights Project funded by the UK Department for International Development and implemented in partnership with Namati.

The Role: The Land Rights Programme Coordinator will focus on leading implementation of a new Community Land Rights Project funded by the UK Department for International Development and implemented in partnership with Namati.
The Project will apply innovative
legal empowerment techniques to support select communities in Kenya to gain
legal protection over their land and natural resources. During this process,
the extent to which community land protection affects conflict and gender
dynamics will be rigorously tested.
More broadly, the Land Rights
programme Coordinator will be a member of Oxfam’s core management team in
Kenya, ensuring programme design and management reflect current and potential
challenges with respect to land reform and have a clear influencing
agenda.
The Land Rights programme coordinator
is expected to work closely and exert influence over all key actors in the land
sector (impacted communities, private sector, government, civil society and
donors) under the supervision of the Kenya National Programme Coordinator and
Country Director.
